2010
565 room (5 ppl in one apt but in separate rooms)
800 car all in (I drove a bmw, wasteful luxury)
600 food (ate out all the time, wasteful luxury)
50 utilities (gas and internet were included in rent)
100 entertainment (not much time)
That’s about 2400 in 2019 dollars and if I had gotten a cheaper car or taken public transit like most students there would have been plenty of savings.
- krnlpnc 7y agoOn minimum wage you are about 400 in the hole after taxes, and before health insurance, savings, retirement, SO, kids etc. Not to mention this is one rented bedroom, not even a studio apt.
